I already made one on my previous car!! But i never showed it because it didn't work. The battery's voltage is too low. A low current LED will probably work but i don't know where to buy them in my town.

I have 6v of Lithium-ion batteries in mine

cheers

Good work James! I like that a lot! Yeah 340's got them as well, I've a whole pot of keys sat here! The standard torch is only of any use at about 1 and a half feet with a good battery. It was only ever intended as a lock finding aid, but I'd like a torch on my keys, as I always have them with me and my new phone isn't as bright as my old one to be used as a makeshift torch! I think this mod could prove popular.

I agree, top job! It's something I thought about doing with mine, but never got around to looking into it properly.

Only trouble is, I fear that I'd play with it so much that when I needed to use it, the batteries would be flat!

You inspired me....



Well pleased with how bright it is. I was gonna put in a rainbow coloured LED for that extra pimp factor, but decided against it and went for plain old white

All the pimpin

I have one to, but it's not from my car! It came with the car when I bought it, but it doesn't fit. It would be cool to transfer the key into the led key, if you know what I mean.

The LED thing is something i was planning for a long time, but i´ve got the same problem as Japper. I got a key for my locks without torch. And I got a key with torch, but not for my locks.

If I could just find out how to combine....

Thats what I'm probably going to do with the key from Beast, even though I kept all the locks too.... (I think) Might just see if I can find another at somepoint.

Hey Thomas, maybe you have my key and I have yours! That would be cool!

How can we find out? Are there so many "doubles" ?

I will post apicture later of both keys.

If not, I will go the very expensive way (but as i got he equipment...). First do a Electron Dispersive X-Ray Analysis to find out what the keys are made of exactly. If the material is not expected to get too brittle after welding, I will cut the keys and weld them back together either by laser or by elctron-beam to prevent the plastic from melting. Someday (reckoning the time spent and machinery used, it will be a very expensive key after that...)

But I will post the pictures first

Errmmmm... no I will not post a picture, maybe I´m going psycho, but I don´t anyone to copy my keys...

Japper, I send you a mail instead.

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but...





Finally got around to it, cheers for the inspiration foggy!

Cheers
